Description
The R7986A is a step-down switching regulator
with a 3.7 A (min.) current limited embedded
power MOSFET, so it is able to deliver up to 3 A
current to the load depending on the application
conditions.
The input voltage can range from 4.5 V to 38 V,
while the output voltage can be set starting from
0.6 V to V_IN.
Requiring a minimum set of external components,
the device includes an internal 250 kHz switching
frequency oscillator that can be externally
adjusted up to 1 MHz. The large ambient
temperature range makes it ideal for aerospace
and defense applications.
The HSOP8 package with exposed pad allows
the reduction of R_th(JA) down to 40 °C/W.
